AEW Dynamite has been going head to head with NXT on Wednesday nights since October of 2019, and for the majority of the Wednesday Night Wars AEW has come out ahead of NXT in the ratings.
Recently it was reported that WWE will be moving NXT to Tuesday nights, and that an official announcement is expected to be made in the coming weeks.
AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes was asked about NXT possibly moving nights during an appearance on Action Sports Jax, and he noted that he’s not reacting to the moves that NXT makes.
“We have destroyed them for over a year now in that space. Them leaving, perhaps that opens up a different viewership for us on Wednesdays. We’re not reactionary to their booking and won’t change anything we do with what they decide to do on Wednesdays. There are a lot of smart people who work for WWE and perhaps they are planning something else, maybe it’s Wednesday Night Raw for all I know. I’m not assuming their white flag, moving to Tuesday nights, is a true white flag. I’ll wait and see. In the interim, we’ll continue to come up with new content, great stories, and make new kings and queens on our roster. If you’re ever backstage at AEW no one is talking about our competition.”
Stay tuned for more updates on NXT moving nights as they become available.
